It specializes in reviews of frequently neglected published works of fiction, poetry, and literary and cultural criticism from small, regional, university, ethnic, avant-garde, and women's presses. For nearly thirty years, ABR has been a staple of the literary world. In November 2006, the editorial aspects of ABR moved from Illinois State University to the University of Houston-Victoria under the editorship of Dr. Jeffrey R. Di Leo, Editor and Publisher of ABR, and UHV Dean of the School of Arts & Sciences. The production elements of ABR were also transferred in September 2007, making UHV the American Book Review's single host. Founded in 1977 by novelist Ronald Sukenick, ABR was designed to offer a unique model for reviewing books, one edited by writers themselves in an effort to reproduce the interest they took in their peers' works of fiction, poetry, and criticism. This collective approach remained intact while responsibility for producing the journal was assumed by the University of Colorado at Boulder in 1987, then by Illinois State University in 1995, and now by the University of Houston-Victoria. Instructions to Authors Contest Ronald Sukenick/American Book Review Innovative Fiction Prize Sponsored by Fiction Collective Two (FC2) and American Book Review Announcing the Winner of the 2007 Prize: Beautiful Soon Enough by Margo Berdeshevsky The 2008 contest will be open from August 15 - November 1. Eligibility The Ronald Sukenick/American Book Review Innovative Fiction Contest is open to any writer of English who is a citizen of the United States and who has not previously published with Fiction Collective Two. Submissions may include a collection of short stories, one or more novellas, or a novel. There is no length requirement. Works that have previously appeared in magazines or in anthologies may be included. Translations and previously self-published collections are not eligible. To avoid conflict of interest, former or current students or close friends of the final judge for 2009, Lidia Yuknavitch, are ineligible to win the contest. Employees and Board members of FC2 are not eligible to enter. Judges Finalists for the Prize will be chosen by the following members of the FC2 Board of Directors: Kate Bernheimer, R.M. Berry, Brian Evenson, Noy Holland, Lance Olsen (Chair), Susan Steinberg, and Michael Martone. The winning manuscript in 2009 will be chosen from the finalists by Lidia Yuknavitch, a member of the FC2 Board of Directors. Selection criteria will be consistent with FC2's stated mission to publish "fiction considered by America's largest publishers too challenging, innovative, or heterodox for the commercial milieu," including works of "high quality and exceptional ambition whose style, subject matter, or form pushes the limits of American publishing and reshapes our literary culture." For contest updates and full information on FC2's mission, history, aesthetic commitments, authors, events, and books, please visit the website at: http://fc2.org. Deadlines Contest entries will be accepted beginning 15 August 2008. All entries must be postmarked no later than 1 November 2008. The winner will be announced May 2009. Prize The Prize includes $1,000 and publication by FC2, an imprint of the University of Alabama Press. In the unlikely event that no suitable manuscript is found among entries in a given year, FC2 reserves the right not to award a prize. Manuscript Format Please submit either TWO hardcopies of the manuscript, or ONE hardcopy and one Word file of the manuscript on a labeled CD.
